Private Eye has been running a feature called St. Albion Parish News, with reports from the Vicar Rev. A.R.P. Blair MA (Oxon). Recently Rev. Blair wrote :
Read The Good Book Lately?
This week's reading comes from the Old Testament and it's amazing how up to date and relevant some of this stuff still is!
"And if a man layeth with a woman who is not his wife, then he hath committed adultery, and he shall be stoned to death. But if that same man shall stand up and spilleth his seed on her raiment, then no man may call him an adulterer. And he shall not be stoned to death and his deed shall merely be deemed inappropriate in the sight of God and the people. And that will be the end of it." (Book of Hairsplitticus, Ch. 24)
